Wooow they said how many of these black guys saying Lupita is beautiful would actually want to date her or have sex with her...I don't think that's fair. I think she'd do well with black men, especially light skinned men.

@newdiva oh you meant that "She ain't like the resta y'all niccas comment...true, true...but I'd probably like her more if she had come from a regular family and was just a regular girl. But I guess they're saying Hollywood doesn't see it that way. I could care less where she's from.

yes. I had made that argument I think earlier in this thread. I think for the majority of folks black, white and otherwise her background makes her "better". I mean...why is Mexico trying so hard to claim her? but i'll not belabor the point.

for me also...I don't care what her background is and where's she's from but at the same time her background makes her who she is. It has produced the things that we "love" about her. She's everything folks wish AA's would be in general...i'm going off again. Nevermind me.

Just from listening, all of what they are saying is true but it's a shame people are so caught up in color. If she was light this wouldn't be so rare and shocking or as big a deal as it is. We are higher beings. We

Of course people were offended by Gabourey. I was offended by Gabourey. Can't we have a positive image on TV once in a while? Why do we always have to be a caricature?

While I agree...I was talking about out of character. Gabourey has said some touching things etc but she get's shaded to death no matter what she says just based on her size. Even tho her colouring is just as gorgeous as Lupita's. This conversation didn't spark when Gabby hit the scene because it was generally thought that she is not pretty therefore she need not be reppin' for dark girls. Dark girls already got the rep for being fat and sloppy. It was said that Gabourey's background wasn't spoken of like Lupita's. Of course not...she's american. NY born. Nothing special or exotical there.
